Sony Ericsson W705 is official, together with the Wireless Home Audio System MBS-900
Sony Ericsson has just announced its latest Walkman phone, the Sony Ericsson W705, a handset known until now under the codename of Sony Ericsson Rika.
As expected, the W705 is a slider – the Walkman version of Sony Ericsson G705, which was announced last summer.
Sony Ericsson says that the new handset is capable of offering the “best-in-class audio experience”, and I guess we should believe that. The phone is nicely packed with lots of music features as well as with Web capabilities, all of which make it a pretty good mid-range device.
The specs of Sony Ericsson W705 look like this:
-
2.4 inch TFT display with 262K colors and 320 x 240 pixels

Sony Ericsson W705 will be on sale starting the first quarter of 2009, in two color versions: Luxury Silver and Passionate Red. Its price is not known yet.
Apart from the regular W705, there will be other two versions: Sony Ericsson W705a, for the Americas, and Sony Ericsson W705 u, an UMA-enabled, Orange-exclusive version.
Together with the new Walkman phone, Sony Ericsson has also announced the Wireless Home Audio System MBS-900. This features a dual speaker and sub-woofer system and it can be connected with any Bluetooth-capable mobile phone, offering a crystal-clear sound. It also has an independent FM receiver and a monochrome OLDE display.
The MBS-900 will hit the market at the same time with the Sony Ericsson W705. Its price is also unknown.
